Whitemoore Burg

Defences

Birchwood Palisades stand just over 8ft in height. Castle that has a battlement of 6 cannons facing South towards the Bay, 2 towards the West, and and two, though smaller, towards the North.  The Trade Wall houses another battlement of 2 cannons, as well as 4 ballistae, all facing the North as the wall runs East towards Brightbark Hill. Reinforced Wooden Gates alongside the castle for both the palisade to the West and the stone wall to the East, as well as another, midway through the Trade Wall, that is also a drawbridge for the part of the Eastern Chalice River that it rests in front of.  Contingency of 35 Guards, 12 Archers/Cannoneers, and 3 Veterans.

Industry & Trade

Using the water they damned at the base of where the two Chalice rivers meet, thus the name, they formed a Greater Chalice that collects the rushing waters to turn the few mills which had allowed the lumber, textiles, and shipping (tide mill) industry to grow. This town has started to harness steam engine technology after they met and allied with the Gnomes of Under Brightbark Hill. These Gnomes had found a use for the more refined coal, and found that the others on the surface made good use of the poorer quality coal. Whitemoore Burg uses the steam engines to not only pump water from the Gnome Home mines, but purify it and store it, and also pump water to the citizens of the Burg district. The steam engine technology has made a few other advances lately, namely: an automated pulley system for faster transport up and down the Hill; and a 'Mobile Carriage' that is used to transport materials and sometimes people along the inner Trade Wall, but not usually as they are rather slow. They are also a portside town ripe with trade from people who want more protection than they would find at Boardwalk, as Whitemoore's founding principles were formed around free enterprise and collective comforts - at a cost.
